This was our second trip to this place and it was every bit as enjoyable as our first visit. It is so convenient to all that downtown Bristol has to offer which allows us to walk to all the restaurants and shops. We are already planning our next stay to attend an exhibition at the nearby Newport Museum of Art.

Comfortable, delightful experience for a getaway/reunion weekend. Directions and instructions were perfect, apartment was exactly as promised. Loved the ample space and the coziness, so many windows and so much light. Enjoyed the kitchen space to prepare meals and treats. Owner was a delight. Easily walkable to cute downtown. Quiet at night.

We loved the location and the convenience to town. Excellent communication with the host. Everything was well thought out from the coffee, cream and sugar to the down comforters on the bed and flufffy towels. Pretty views of the ferry landing to Prudence Island, less than a 10 minute walk to many excellent restaurants and shops. Two car parking a nice to have. Clean and comfortable, we will definitely be booking again.

Very nice space. Didn't expect being on the third floor. Kind of tough if your over 70. Pictures on line accurate.

We rented this 2 (huge) bedroom apartment for its proximity to downtown Bristol, the harbor, walking distance to restaurants. It was perfect. Everything we needed. Off-street parking was a plus. It was hot when we stayed so the central air conditioning was sweet. Everything is updated - the bathroom is huge. Our host was accessible and there if we need anything. The apartment is in a historic house which made our stay memorable. Our favorite place to eat was Leo's, just a few minute walk. A quiet neighborhood - perfect for early morning walks. At least 3 coffee places to stop at while out walking too.

this is the second time we have rented this apartment. It is lovely and comfortable, and the location in downtown Bristol near the water is fantastic.

Wy wife and I were visiting friends in Bristol and attending the "Frosty Bash" at the Herreshoff Museum. We wanted to be in town and close to the water. This met all of our criteria. Walking distance to all restaurant's, shops, etc., as well the waterfront. The property itself is large, with full kitchen, two bedrooms and living room. All tastefully done and very comfortable. Host was very friendly and access was easy. All in all, we had had a great time visiting Bristol, which included our stay at this VRBO.

Great location, walk to everything, beautiful water views. Great communication from owner.

Location is great! This 3rd floor apartment is right across from the water and a small kids park (bonus for us!) we walked to dinner a block away to Aidens Pub. If it weren’t for the rain we would have walked to more shops down the road. It’s great this comes with a spot or 2 for driveway parking. As long as you don’t mind going up the flights of stairs it’s a perfect spot.
The place itself was clean, well stocked, and I loved the kitchen is open to the living room only divided by a breakfast nook. Had everything we needed like stove, fridge, tv with YouTubeTv & Netflix (our own login).
I definitely recommend this place at 5 stars. The only comments I’d like to make for future travelers is if you are a light sleeper in the morning- bring something to cover the windows because the curtains are not light blocking. We hung some blankets and towels over them so we (and our toddler) could sleep in a little. Such a good stay and nice owners!

The property was in a perfect spot. Close to downtown and the waterfront. Private off street parking. Christy and Dean were amazing, even helped with out bags. It is up a couple of flights of stairs, so maybe not mobility friendly. It was cozy and comfy, would definitely stay again.

2 bedroom "apartment" on third floor walk-up of beautiful, antique home with views of the water/ferry dock.
Located within easy walking distance to many, many restaurants, bars, Colt State Park, and the bike path. Bristol is beautiful - many old homes, lots to do, and great walking.
Comfortable beds, quiet, responsive/easy-going hosts, easy parking, great location;
Some minor suggestions: TV is very small; kitchenware (pots and pans) a little worn out and could use some more pans/bread knife - (this won't matter as much if you don't plan to cook. We were there for a month and did end up cooking quite a bit); a clothes dresser or two would be great.
Overall - a great place to stay! Thanks!

This apartment is very old but super clean very quiet, private, well heated (it’s cold outside), freshly painted, nicely furnished. It is a three story walk-up but we are ok with that…keeps us young.

Location is perfect, on the harbor and a short walk to all that Bristol has to offer. The apartment is very comfortable and bright. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and convenient. Prospective guests should be aware that there is a climb to the third floor and with the property being a historic house, there is no dishwasher and only a small TV; however, none of that took away from our very enjoyable stay. The bathroom is spacious and the heating system was excellent. Highly recommended - we will be back!

We stayed in Bristol because of the closeness to the wedding venue that we were in town for. The rental property was neat and clean and met all our needs. Christy was helpful in making recommendations for restaurant options. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and interesting local shops. We enjoyed quiet time sitting across the street that overlooks the harbor. We look forward to going back there again.
